Homecoming!

Homecoming was early this year! Probably because we started school later... but I got to go to the dance! And with my good friend Ben! :)

Ben was pretty sneaky and filled my room with 150 (I think) balloons while I was gone backpacking! I came home to this on my bedroom door:

Then I opened my door to see this:

Balloons!!

We looked and looked for the one with the message...

and finally found it!

notice me still sweaty and gross from the backpacking trip... ;P

So... I popped all of the balloons,

Stuck them on a bag,

filled it with popcorn,

wrote out "Y-E-S"

made up a poem (with mom's help!),

put it all together,

and delivered the answer to his home!

Here I am, all ready for the dance! Heath did my hair! (I couldn't find the picture of us getting ready in the bathroom!) and Jess did my make-up (she's especially proud of my eye make-up ;)

Putting on the boutonniere...

yes, I did it all by myself! :)

the beautiful corsage!

awwww...

aren't we cute ;)

of course, Ben had to sign the shotgun shell...!

and off we went!

Thanks Ben for being my homecoming date and making it a fantabulous night! You make for a very fine gentleman! :)
